Pretty sure I already initiated combat even if he succeeds the saving throw. You might need to roll initiative before you can shoot now? But I did move back toward the party after the accidental Casting. Think of it as cowering back towards the group.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
JC casts the spell and the back of the goblins head begins to become covered in ice slowly 10 (he takes 3 damage)
Both goblins notice this as the goblin begins to panic and starts to turn and look behind him frantically, the goblin JC attacked sees him and begins to open his mouth to help a warning as an arrow pierce's his chest and punches straight through him, pulling on a string of entrails with it.
The other goblin reacts by dashing away, you are not aware of this but as the Carnage unfolds in front of him he runs away from the group.
JC has moved back towards the ladder but not defended at this point. N
Initiative not needed at the moment. But I will need everyone's next immediate action as if it were combat.
Jc we’ll continue on trying to get closer to the group. Preferably behind everyone else if he can make it that far.
So does Kal get up the ladder or does JC come down first? Or do we meet in the middle? Kal would want to go up regardless to try to get a higher vantage point look at what's up ahead in any case.

Hearing the sudden commotion Niche will rush up towards the ladder but not climb it yet, arrow ready to shoot at any goblin as soon as she sees one over the ledge
Kal climbs up the rope ladder after JC retreats down, staring at his hands and visibly shaking although it is slight. Zandrich follows Kal up the ladder and they make it over to the dead goblin, looking to the right there is a path that is at an elevation and you can now both hear water flowing close by. (on your left is a ledge with a 12 foot fall to the path that the goblin was staring at)(currently your other team members are down there but behind you)
Sorry, got interrupted with work during the finalization of the post. re-posting below to hopefully shed some light on the situation (or lack there of)
Kal and Zandrich approach the dead goblin, to the left is the ledge that the goblin was looking down from at the lower level (12 foot drop you have ascended to this level via the rope ladder). To the right the path continues back and you can't make much out without a light source. The path directly ahead of you ends into a wall about 15 more feet ahead, you can see 2 chairs against the corner and a pile of items and possibly a table against the wall. You can hear water movement close by.

Branagh will move forwards in case a melee combatant appears
Kal will move forward and climb up to where JC is.

Zandrich follows behind kal

I will move forward with Branagh, warhammer and shield ready.

Good question
Zandrich osgood
My character is retreating. He is panicking after what just happened and trying to get behind his new friends
Did JC come down the ladder before Kal in his initial retreat?
Warforged Fighter Talien
If he can move that far, then yes. He is genuinely panicking.

JC could have made it down in the initial movement during his retreat, so Kal would have no issue going up.
Kal you reach the top of the ladder and you see no sign of an enemy.

Remember i am following behind kal

down and to the __________ that the goblin? Think you left out a word?
Can I see or hear any goblins or other enemies ahead or can I make out what the goblin was staring at?
WIS save for killing the goblin: 17
Perception: 9

Same confusion
Perception to see or hear any enimies 13
